‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ Gossip: What Ladies Are Saying About Dina And Danielle

Franklin Lakes, the town where Real Housewives of New Jersey is filmed, is certainly not immune to gossip and, in fact, its chatty ladies are exactly why we love watching the show so much week after week. So it’s no surprise, then, that the gossips of Franklin Lakes have something to say about one of the show’s biggest scandals: what Danielle Staub did to Dina Manzo to make Caroline Manzo so upset at last year’s reunion show. Danielle has said that she gave Dina’s ex-husband a phone number to talk to someone about contracts for the show, but a tipster tells Crushable that Dina and Danielle’s neighbors have other intel.

“Word on the street (of New Jersey) was that Danielle gave Dina’s ex-husband the number for child protective services,” our tipster told us. “He called with allegations that she was abusing Lexi. That kind of makes more sense than just contract disputes. Recall Dina’s disgust and Caroline’s near tears anger?”

“He now lives across the street and has a new girlfriend,” our tipster added.

When Crushable spoke with Dina at Bravo’s upfront event in March, she mentioned that her husband was not going to be on the show (he wasn’t during the first season, either) causing us to ask her if she was dating. “Am I dating?!” Dina asked us, surprised. “I’m married!” Representatives for the show did not immediately respond for our requests for comment.

What number do you think Danielle gave Dina’s ex-husband? Would you be surprised to learn Dina and Tommy had split?

If you’re crazy about Housewives, join us tonight at 10 p.m. ET as Crushable editors Amanda Ernst and Erin Carlson live blog tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey. You can watch along with us and add your comments.

UPDATE: Bravo PR told us: “It’s not Bravo’s policy to comment on the personal lives of talent. Neither of the instances you mention are shown on the program.”

Bravo’s blogs are so not realistic – everytime I say something negative on Caroline or Theresa or Jacqueline’s blog, they are not posted; same thing for saying something positive on Danielle’s. Anyone else noticing this?
